Environment-Related Substances Management
In 2010, LITEON implemented the LITEON LS301 standards by following the IECQ QC
080000 system and taking into account the latest trends in other countries, regulations,
and customer needs. The LS301 standards apply to all products. The LS301 standards are
revised from time to time after calibration with different versions adopted by different
business units. The total number of restricted substances reached 323 in 2020.
The in-house Green product Management System (GMS) works with the "restricted
substances management" and " design development management" procedures already
in place as well as the LS301 standards for hazardous substance management. LITEON
also requires that suppliers (including contractors) comply with the LITEON Guidelines
for Green Procurement and submit the Supplier Statement of Restricted Substances
Compliance for material/part acknowledgment and internal control. Furthermore, LITEON
states explicitly in all procurement contracts the strict requirement for materials, parts,
or semi-finished goods to comply with or exceed RoHS, REACH, California Proposition 65,
and Montreal Protocol. With the implementation of green supply chain management, we
hope to achieve the goal of sourcing environmentally friendly materials, manufacturing
and providing to our customers low-toxicity and low-pollution products to minimize any
harmful impact they may have on the human body or the environment.
LITEON installs the Green product Management System (GMS) to effectively manage and
review compliance with the LS301 criterion for raw materials, parts, or semi-finished
goods provide by the suppliers. GMS combines material requirements, international
laws, international directives, customer policies, and supplier information. Suppliers file
product testing and analysis results for the system to determine automatically whether
they comply with the rules and directives. LITEON will summarize and analyze the data,
and check the degree of compliance with the LS301 standards. Furthermore, GMS not
only actively delivers information on green product management at LITEON to customers,
but also feeds environmental requirements or provisions for green products, such as ErP,
WEEE, and 3R, from customers into the management system to provide a basis for green
product design.
LITEON made a running change to replace materials, parts, and modules containing diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP). The substance ceased to be used in any of the products in January 2019.
Air Pollution Prevention
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted at LITEON come
mainly from organic solvents used during production, such as
soldering flux and isopropanol vapors. NOx and SOx emissions
from generators used for emergency or testing in the plants and
from hot water boilers in the living area are considered trace
amounts. LITEON manages VOC emissions through management
styles, procedure improvement, training, and regular third-party
inspection. In addition, LITEON started implementing stronger
outdoor air pollution emission controls on site in 2017.
Inspection data from the plants, actual factory conditions and
local environmental policies were considered in the design of
comprehensive and reasonable emission treatment systems
with two levels or more (e.g., precipitators, UV photocatalysis,
and activated carbon-based absorption). These systems were
built to fulfill a comprehensive purpose including removing
VOC pollutants, optimizing control, reducing consumption,
and ensuring safety. VOC emissions at LITEON are calculated
according to the test data of third-party environmental
compliance inspection reports and hours of operation. The total
emissions reported from LITEON's main manufacturing bases
worldwide were 36.3Note tons in 2021.
Note: Emission data includes Changzhou, Tianjin, Huizhou, Dongguan, Guangzhou and India in a total of 12 production sites
